- Authority type: official OCDS UK contracting-authority type when the notice publishes one; otherwise a Tenderline name/id class; otherwise “not classified”. Purchasing hubs with no published type stay unclassified.
- Published value attributable to this supplier alone: £396k across single-supplier awards, framework / DPS ceilings excluded. Coverage is partial and the figure is not turnover, so it is not shown as a headline.
- Contract end dates: published on 6 of 10 awards; 1 end within 18 months.
- Each figure’s own method and sample is behind its ; the long form is on Methodology.
- Never shown: contact details, reliability or payment scores, affiliations, predicted wins.
